Ohio Governor Outlines Deficit Reduction Plan.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland has proposed what he’s calling a framework for plugging the $3,200,000,000 hole in the state budget. He’s proposing cutting $2,400,000,000 in spending and is reversing his stance on slot machines – allowing them without an okay from voters. Ohio Public Radio’s Karen Kasler has the latest on the battle to balance the budget.

Prospective Ohio drivers would see added training requirements and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles would be allowed to accept credit and debit cards under a state transportation budget that easily cleared the Ohio House on Tuesday.
